Law + order

Evelyn was pleased with the small Christian college community she found when visiting Northwestern. Along with her job as ticket manager for athletic events, Evelyn is a NEXT program mentor, editor for the Beacon and Student Activities Council member. A history major with a criminal justice minor, Evelyn has her sights on law school and plans to become a district attorney.

Thinking critically

History has always been one of my favorite subjects, so it was fairly easy to pick out my major. The history department at NWC challenges students to think beyond the surface level teachings of history and to analyze the thoughts and belief systems of each time period. Northwestern also offers a 3+3 law program with Drake University, which interested me as I plan on attending law school in the future.

Close-knit campus

Northwestern provides a strong, closely knit family community. It is a great place to grow both academically and spiritually. Since the campus is fairly small, it is easy to walk to classes, meals and events. You’re also likely to find a group of friends who seek to grow in their faith with you.

Intentional profs

The faculty at Northwestern pour a lot of time and energy into not just teaching their students but also getting to know them and investing in them as people. Professors love chatting with students about subject matter related to their classes as well as their lives outside of the classroom. They care about your academics and love getting to know you personally, leading to a meaningful connection over the course of the semester.
